Governor Cuomo is a steadfast opponent of the 2nd Amendment and those who support it. First it was the SAFE Act. That was the hastily passed act that outlawed “assault weapons” and magazines with over seven rounds. Then there was …

Imagine, the horrifying idea of having to go on record as supporting an issue of major importance to the nation and to the base of the Republican Party. As you’ll see in the video, Ted Cruz forced a vote on …

We could like Ann Coulter a little more if she’d just stop waffling. We don’t agree with everything she has to say, especially concerning primarying liberal Republicans. We absolutely agree that Christine O’Donnell and Todd Akin were complete and total …

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a place for silence and respect for the unknown fallen in our wars. The Tomb is guarded by an elite unit who stand vigil twenty four hours per day every day, rain or …

Paul Ryan is considered by those in Washington to be one of the brightest guys around. We accepted that view when Mitt Romney picked him for VP. We should have known better, we’ve been watching Washington for a long time. …

Sen. Ron Wyden is a senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, and while we don’t agree with virtually all of his positions, we’re arm-in-arm with him on the need for oversight of the NSA. He’s doing an excellent job …

That was the main message from the President last night at the State of the Union reality show. By the way, we don’t have a government anymore, we have a rock star reality show running Washington DC. Before we get …
